Japan (1999–2003) Marvin made his Japanese debut on November 21, 1999, defeating Sangre Azteca. While working for CMLL Japan, Marvin defeated Virus to win the CMLL Japan Super Lightweight Champion on August 6, 2000.

Pro Wrestling Noah (2003–2015) Marvin began working for Pro Wrestling Noah in 2003, often appearing at Pro Wrestling SEM events, Noah's league for younger, inexperienced wrestlers. Over time, Marvin began teaming regularly with Kotaro Suzuki. They wrestled at Departure on July 10, 2004, in a loss to Donovan Morgan and Michael Modest. While teaming with Suzuki, Marvin also began a storyline feud with Suzuki's masked alter ego, "Mushiking Terry", while he wrestled as the masked Mushiking Joker character himself. The two masked characters wrestled off and on between 2005 and 2007, with both men occasionally wrestling unmasked as well.

On January 21, 2007, Marvin and Suzuki defeated The Briscoe Brothers (Jay Briscoe and Mark Briscoe) to win the GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship, which they lost on November 24 to Naruki Doi and Masato Yoshino. In August 2008, Marvin teamed with AAA's Laredo Kid and El Oriental against Histeria, Antifaz and Rocky Romero. In early 2010, after the GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship was vacated when Suzuki suffered a knee injury, Marvin and Taiji Ishimori entered a tournament to determine the next champions. They defeated Bobby Fish and Eddie Edwards in the first round and Genba Hirayanagi and Yoshinobu Kanemaru in the finals to win the championship.

In July 2011, Marvin reunited with his brother Rocky Marvin to take part in the 2011 Nippon TV Cup Jr. Heavyweight Tag League. After one victory and three losses, the team finished last in their block of the tournament. On October 16, Marvin defeated Satoshi Kajiwara to win the vacant GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship for the first time. Immediately after the match, Marvin vacated the title, declaring that he wanted to earn it by defeating Katsuhiko Nakajima, who had been forced to vacate the title due to injury. Nakajima returned on November 27 and defeated Marvin for the vacant GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship. On July 22, 2012, Marvin and Super Crazy, known as Los Mexitosos, defeated Atsushi Aoki and Kotaro Suzuki to win the GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship, but lost it to Genba Hirayanagi and Maybach Taniguchi Jr. on March 10, 2013. In July 2013, Los Mexitosos entered the NTV G+ Cup Junior Heavyweight Tag League for the vacant GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship. The team won three of their four matches, but did not advance to the finals.

Marvin, working under the masked Bengala persona, returned to Noah on July 18, 2015, entering the 2015 Global Junior Heavyweight League. He finished the tournament with a record of three wins and three losses, failing to advance to the finals.

Ring of Honor (2007, 2013) Marvin made his Ring of Honor (ROH) debut at Live in Tokyo on July 16, 2007, where he teamed with Atsushi Aoki and Matt Sydal in a loss to Naomichi Marufuji and The Briscoe Brothers. In August 2013, it was announced that he would return to ROH to face Roderick Strong at Death Before Dishonor XII on September 20, as well as Davey Richards the next day. Marvin was defeated in both matches.

Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (2007–2008, 2013–2017) Two weeks after TripleSEM, on September 16, 2007, Marvin traveled to Mexico to team with Latin Lover and La Parka, defeating La Legión Extranjera (Abismo Negro, Kenzo Suzuki, Ron Killings and X-Pac) in one of the featured matches at Verano de Escandalo ("Summer of Scandal"). Marvin made a further appearance in AAA on June 13, 2008, wrestling at Triplemanía XVI as part of the Mexican Powers, alongside Crazy Boy and Último Gladiador, defeating La Legión Extranjera (Bryan Danielson, Jack Evans and Teddy Hart) and La Familia de Tijuana (Extreme Tiger, Halloween, and T.J. Xtreme) in a three-way tag team elimination match. On April 15, 2013, Marvin returned to AAA, joining Los Perros del Mal.

On May 2, 2014, Marvin returned to AAA, working under a mask as the tecnico character "Bengala", with no public acknowledgement that it was Marvin under the mask. He won his first match as Bengala when he pinned Los Perros del Mal leader El Hijo del Perro Aguayo in a six-man tag team main event. On June 7, at Verano de Escándalo, Bengala won an eight-way match to advance to the finals of a tournament to determine the number one contender for the AAA Cruiserweight Championship. Bengala received his title shot with eight other challengers on August 17 at Triplemanía XXII, but failed to capture the title, which was won by El Hijo del Fantasma.

In 2016, the Bengala gimmick was taken over by Super Nova, while Fuentes began working as Ricky Marvin once more. He was then paired with Averno and Chessman, forming a new trio called Los OGT. Los OGT won the AAA World Trios Championship on November 4 by defeating Los Xinetes ("The Horsemen"; El Zorro, Dark Cuervo and Dark Scoria). They lost the title to El Apache, Faby Apache and Mary Apache on March 5, 2017, when Marvin was defeated by Faby in a singles match. On October 30, Marvin left AAA.

Independent circuit (2018–present) After leaving AAA, Ricky Marvin continued competing on the independent circuit across Mexico and internationally. On March 25, 2018, he headlined the International Wrestling Revolution Group's (IWRG) "Cabellera vs. Cabellera" ("Hair vs. Hair") event in Naucalpan, defeating Dr. Cerebro in a Lucha de Apuestas that resulted in Cerebro being shaved bald. In December, Marvin participated in a WWE tryout in Chile. Marvin made his Major League Wrestling (MLW) debut during a Fusion taping in Tijuana on October 5, 2019, losing to Oraculo and Black Danger in a three-way match that aired on October 12.

On August 26, 2022, Bandido defeated Marvin in the finals of a tournament for the Big Lucha World Championship.
